Following The Crowd: The Effectiveness Of Campaign Personal Appearances During The New Hampshire Primary Season, Brian O'Connor Apr 2018

Following The Crowd: The Effectiveness Of Campaign Personal Appearances During The New Hampshire Primary Season, Brian O'Connor

Master's Theses and Capstones

The New Hampshire primary is a quadrennial political event like no other. We know that candidates place their hopes in the state, as they have for numerous election cycles, but we do not know the specifics on candidate appearances. Scholars have produced research pertaining to the effectiveness of campaign visits by candidates in other races, but the extent that we can apply this research to New Hampshire has yet to be established. In this paper, the conventional wisdom is examined. The conventional wisdom states that candidates must spend time and resources in New Hampshire in order to be successful in …


Can Artificial Intelligence Alleviate Resource Scarcity?, Andrew Ware Apr 2018

Can Artificial Intelligence Alleviate Resource Scarcity?, Andrew Ware

Inquiry Journal 2018

During summer 2017, I explored the implications of the potential application of artificial intelligence (AI) to resource management at the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Alongside my mentor, Dr. Simon Beard, I sought to determine the most noteworthy risks and benefits associated with developing AI that could offer agricultural guidance and that could someday offer insight into more efficient, effective, and equitable resource distribution. My research, funded by a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) grant, involved discussing AI-related issues in the context of resource scarcity with academics and …

Uncovering How Occupational Therapy Could Benefit Individuals Living With Sickle Cell Disease In Ghana, Carolyn D'Olympio Apr 2018

Uncovering How Occupational Therapy Could Benefit Individuals Living With Sickle Cell Disease In Ghana, Carolyn D'Olympio

Inquiry Journal 2018

In 2017, with funding from a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF), I spent ten weeks in Kumasi, Ghana conducting research on how occupational therapy may be beneficial for individuals living with sickle cell disease. At the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi, I conducted multiple interviews with five individuals living with sickle cell disease. I also traveled to the homes of these individuals to observe how their home environment may be influencing their ability to engage in everyday life with sickle cell disease, and I interviewed healthcare practitioners about the types of services available for these patients. Through my …


Impact Of Suspended Particles On Bacterial Concentrations In Great Bay Estuary Oysters, Audrey Berenson Apr 2018

Impact Of Suspended Particles On Bacterial Concentrations In Great Bay Estuary Oysters, Audrey Berenson

Inquiry Journal 2018

Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteria are naturally occurring in marine ecosystems globally. However, with recent environmental changes, such as increased water temperature, they have an increasing presence in northeast United States waters, including the Great Bay Estuary in New Hampshire. Due to the accumulation of bacteria in filter feeders that are often consumed, such as oysters, surveillance is necessary to monitor bacteria. I spent the summer of 2017 collecting plankton, water, suspended solids (floating material), sediment, and oysters from the Great Bay Estuary to characterize how suspended solids might impact V. parahaemolyticus concentrations in oysters. I hypothesized that when the mass of …

Drug Overdose Rates Are Highest In Places With The Most Economic And Family Distress, Shannon M. Monnat Mar 2018

Drug Overdose Rates Are Highest In Places With The Most Economic And Family Distress, Shannon M. Monnat

Carsey Publications

In this brief, author Shannon Monnat examines county-level mortality data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, pooled for 2006–2015, to gain insight into the U.S. drug overdose problem. She reports that, unlike the news media’s regular portrayal of the drug overdose epidemic being a national crisis, some places have much higher drug mortality rates than others. On average, rates are higher in counties with higher levels of economic distress and family dissolution, and they are lower in counties with a larger per capita presence of religious establishments. These findings hold even when controlling for demographic differences, urban …

Faculty Publications

Aspergillus flavus is a soil-borne saprophyte and an opportunistic pathogen of both humans and plants. This fungus not only causes disease in important food and feed crops such as maize, peanut, cottonseed, and tree nuts but also produces the toxic and carcinogenic secondary metabolites (SMs) known as aflatoxins. Polyamines (PAs) are ubiquitous polycations that influence normal growth, development, and stress responses in living organisms and have been shown to play a significant role in fungal pathogenesis. Biosynthesis of spermidine (Spd) is critical for cell growth as it is required for hypusination-mediated activation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A), and …
